Overlooking Greenland Cove in Muscongus Bay, the Daniel Weston Homestead consists of a house with a side ell connected to an attached barn and a detached barn. The house is a two-story dwelling with a side-gabled roof. The house is unusually long for its date of construction. It has a central entry flanked by multi-paned sidelights and topped with an entablature and projecting cornice. The house is clad in clapboard siding. Weston's father and uncle bought 320 acres here in 1772. Weston inherited the land from his father and built this house after his first marriage in 1805. Weston was a shipbuilder, also his father's profession, and the second floor exhibits walls that round upward and inward towards the ceiling. This configuration, typical of a ships interior, granted what appears to be a low second story with additional head space. The house remained in the family until 1939.
Year Listed: 1979
